Beginner scuba lesson in Heraklion, Crete, with PADI instructors. Small groups, calm Agia Pelagia bay, and safe skills practice.

“The most incredible experience of my life! I was respectfully nervous because I knew it would be a new and potentially dangerous (if you don’t do as you’re told!) activity to do but it didn’t take long to feel safe with our guide Pedro, his fiance and his diving instructor friend. We had some time at the beginning to show us what to do including time with the equipment in the “classroom” so we got to know the hand signals and how to breathe using the regulators. We were shown a video and we went to the ocean. All equipment was provided and we went at a pace that was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 203 reviews · 6 hours · from $82

Heraklion first-timer scuba training in clear Ligaria water, with gear, 45-minute lessons, photos, and optional transfer for up to 6.

“Total duration is probably 5 hours. start was 10:00, and then there was a 30 min drive to the beach , got in the water at 12 and out at 1:40pm (dive length depended on how much air you breathed in or how much is left in tank). . There was not a lot in the water by scuba diving means,but there wasnt nothing either,lots of small fish and plants to see, especiall if you go to the full 9 metres, just dont accidentally kick the instructor like we did! The instructor George was very patient with us (both beginners) and explained all the procedures and safety protocols several times.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 148 reviews · from $112

Beginner scuba training off Chania with hotel pickup, small groups, a 25-minute theory session, and an 8-meter max underwater experience.

“To start, we were shuttled to and from our villa, which was super convenient! Once we arrived, we were greeted by a smiling and competent staff who made everyone feel right at home. Once settled, we began with an extremely well presented tutorial on the scuba essentials. During the dive, the staffs professionalism really shined. Their attentiveness was outstanding and it was apparent that safety was their number one priority. It was my daughters first dive, and I was relieved to know she was in great hands. To cap it all off, the team was able to provide a great diving experience for everyone by facilitating a true discovery of…”

“We were collected from our hotel on the advised time and met the team at the beautiful dive location at Mononafitis beach, we had a half hour briefing on safety and the equipment we were using. The instructor (sorry cannot remember her name) then assisted us to kit up and enter the water. We were a group of 4 with the instructor & her dive Assistant who both ensured we were comfortable and supported before we were allowed to dive. It was an excellent experience of first time scuba diving which my partner & myself will be following up and obtaining our licenses. Thank you Horizon diving for a fantastic…”

Snorkeling is available for those who don’t take to scuba. The affable Yannis drove us back to the town square and suggested a couple tavernas—a must-do for excellent authentic Cretan food and drinks. We made many memories on this trip and encourage you to do the same.”

“Chris, unsere Tauchlehrerin/Tourguide war der absolute hammer. Ich hatte diesen Kurs auf Deutsch gebucht, habe ihn dann aber auf Englisch gemacht (was für mich kein problem war) & konnte Chris jederzeit fragen, falls ich etwas auf englisch nicht verstanden habe (sie konnte super deutsch). Sie hat uns so viel zeit wie möglich gegeben/gelassen, um uns mit der Tauchausrüstung und dem Wasser vertraut zu machen. Am Anfang hatte ich etwas bammel, sie konnte mir diese angst sehr gut nehmen & ich bin unheimlich dankbar für diese tolle Erfahrung, ich würde es jederzeit gerne wieder machen. Die Unterwasserwelt ich zauberhaft; viele viele Fische, Korallen und vieles mehr gesehen. Herzlichen Dank für di...”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $174

First-time scuba intro in Plakias, Crete. Private coaching, small-group attention, equipment and transport included, about 4 hours.

“Had an amazing time! Such beautifull scenary and super nice staff, I had Bart as my instructor and he was lovely and very thorough and kind. Lunch at the tavern next to the beach costs around 6-10 eur, we don’t recommend neither the carbonara or the bolognese but the sallads and the omelets looked good but that is besides the point. After the dive you can purchase your pictures they take and those costs 19eur but in my opinion worth the prize. when we where there they offered a little discount if you paid in cash which is a plus.”

11.Heraklion: Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $82

Beginner scuba try session at Agia Pelagia Beach with included gear, English theory, guided underwater practice, SSI diploma, $82.82.

“The staff was quite nice but honestly for what you pay it’s not worth the money. The description is misleading, as we spent no longer than 20-25 minutes under water. You don’t see anything that you couldn’t see just swimming at the same beach, as you don’t go any deeper or further out than you could swimming regularly. As for training you don’t learn anything that you couldn’t in a 10 minute google search on scuba basics, so I wouldn’t even say it’s a good first step for people looking to get into scuba diving. The most you will get out of this is pictures to say you’ve gone scuba…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

A half day intro scuba course in Crete with theory, pool skills, then supervised open water at 3 to 6 meters, gear included.

“Our instructor Sebastian was extremly patient with us and took time to make us feel comfortable. In the end, my girlfriend and i decided after the pool-session that we dont feel comfortable enough to go for the ocean. It was 100% our deccision, Sebastian always tried to encourage us. Even though we didnt go for the ocean, it was a memorable experience. He recommended that we practice with snorkling and come back to him.”
